@madhavan

i am thinking of changing to some other linux distro any recommendations. I would prefer it being a debian or ubuntu based one fedora is also not a problem but the ones like opensuse and arch i would like to stay away from those for now

It all depends what you need, for gaming i would suggest (as i use it personally) Pop! OS 21.04, Manjaro is a good distro too. But you can always check on distrowatch and read alot about all those distro's

@arms17

but it's 90's 'decor

90's concept ? i did not hear this before haha. Please explain ?

@madhavan

i have tried pop and i liked it but why is it using 6 gigs of ram on your system

It all depends on what you installed (gnome extensions, appications running in the background and so on). This one is my Pop! OS without alot of customization (2,8GB in use from the 33,6GB that is installed (actually 4x8 GB / 32GB))

What purposes do you use your pc for madhavan?
Also, what have to tried prior and did or didn't like?

Two Debian based alternatives to consider are the Debian version of Voyager
(Voyager 11 Debian Bullseye) and the breakaway group of Debian devs that created Devuan that uses SysVinit instead of the less secure SystemD that most Distributions use. (https://www.devuan.org/).

@FrenchPress

Mint XFCE is also very good.

I second this...

One more that I am about to look at:

Having been around the 'distro block' more times than I care to share, my fall back has always been Mint. MX being a good second choice.

[Bourne]

Mint is Ubuntu and Debian. Simple and stable. Good social support.

[zGnOmaha]

I would also add Q4OS to this list. Works very well with older 32-bit computers using the Trinity Desktop. And for newer machines, I like it with Plasma.

Dude, I know things that I do not know that I know yet. All I have to do is get on the inter dimensional time based flux telephone, consult future me, and then I suddenly know what I didn't know.

Let me ask you something Bourne. Do you not know what I know that you know, that you don't realize that you know?

[Khnome]

@madhavan

would prefer it being a debian or ubuntu based

KDE neon and POP_OS are my favorites. Also I like manjaro and Solus

[marko94]

My recommendations are:
*Arch or Arch based distros ( best is Endeavour os)
*Fedora
*Solus

[Bourne]

Yes. I know what you mean over information what can checked on uncle search webside but diffrent countries and resource can gived a quality answear for question asked. maybe better to be more precise?

[StarTreker]

I was just playing with you a little bit Bourne. Keep in mind, I am super tired right now, and I get a little more wacky then usual when I am tired.

I already recommended POP OS

I wonder where OP went to.
Maybe (s)he is more confused now which one to chose?
We gave too many choices

At least one thing is clear.
It will be hard to find more friendly and open-minded community than ours

Some forums even would not allow a discussion on other distros I've heard.

[StarTreker]

I was wondering too, where did they go, does anybody know, cause I don't know. And thats the thing with Linux, many choices available to you, thinking about the endless choice, could cause you to turn blue!

Be greatful there are choices though, cause Windows and MAC OS don't give you choice, you know why? Cause they make the choice for you.

And FrenchPress is right, sites for other Linux distro's will often not allow you to talk about other Linux distro's. I'd like to think that we are very friendly here.

The open-minded part, thats the best part of our forum, we accept who you are, and don't make unhealthy demands on you.

I am barely awake right now, I can't believe my brain is still functioning. My fingers arn't though, I am making spelling errors all over. Spell checker!

@Aravisian

Don't forget:
Zorin OS Lite.

Yes. Personally, I'd say this is the best option. lol

[Bourne]

I am waiting Zorin OS Lite because my pc have a problems with gpu. I have 15.3 ult could test this?

[Bourne]

That is good to be a "crazy" - sciencist Einstein , Tesla also was little weird and they doing great work for the world.
